Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Within my independent contracting work, I use Articulate tools exclusively. With each new release, I always happily buy in to the next product as I know Articulate software never disappoints. Articulate 360 allows me to streamline my e-learning development process and makes client reviews a cinch! Without having to hop in and out of other tools/software, I can more efficiently do my job.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Articulate Review makes client reviews a whole lot less painful, and being able to publish individual scenes or slides in Storyline 360 helps contribute to this painlessness.
The Content Library is comprehensive and takes the guess work out of locating appropriate screen styles by providing a wide range of pre-built options...with triggers already built-in!
Articulate 360 is a one-stop-shop. With 9 amazing applications, I don't have much reason to go elsewhere!

Cons

With a subscription-based model, it would be nice to at least have the option to go month to month instead of only providing an annual option.
Some new feature adds for Storyline 360 would be a nice-to-have. For example, developers have been finding work arounds for closed captioning and JavaScript coding in Storyline for years...it would be nice to have some built-in functionality for these elements.

Return on Investment

Articulate 360 has been a 100% ROI for my business objectives - as with all Articulate releases, my business benefits directly!

Comprehensive Platform

I’ve been using Articulate since its emergence. I use Storyline and Rise daily and they are the primary authoring tools for our organization.

Integrated AI

Image and audio generation makes it incredibly fast to develop high quality learning experiences. Localization is a game changer.

Usability

There are a few bugs and feature add ons I’d love to see, but otherwise it’s very usable.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Captivate, Lectora, iSpring Suite and dominKnow | ONE

Articulate really has market hold and for me, it’s primarily because of the overall usability and features compared to competing tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

Articulate 360 is well suited for organizations that will make use of, or leverage a broad range of features and functionality. Individuals who only use Studio or Storyline may be less likely to invest in 360 out of concern they won't use all of the applications, therefore making the subscription price unwarranted.
